all of the spheres revolve around the sun.
what appears to be forward and retrograde motion of the planets is natrually due to their motion around us.

Explanation:

Copernicus' heliocentric model proposed that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. The idea that what appears to be forward and retrograde motion of the planets is due to their motion around us is a geocentric - not heliocentric - view. The other statements are in line with his heliocentric model.

Answer:

What appears to be forward and retrograde motion of the planets is naturally due to their motion around us.
